it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Oh yeah, I’m sure if Pres. Obama or Pres. Biden had torn down the entire East Wing of the White House for any reason, Republicans and conservatives would be very chill about it.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The US media has been conservative for decades, propped up by the “liberal media” myth. It’s coded.
Most notable is how media makes Dems do all the work while GOP sets norms. But also look at how it covers LEO as gospel.
